PHP: Create an array for a range

Question

If I have a variable $num = 50 how can I put the numbers 1-50 into an array?

Answer 1

Take a look at the range function.

$array = range(1, $num);

Answer 2

This can be solved by using a simple for loop:

//  Start ↓    End ↓  Step ↓
for ($i = 1; $i <= $num; ++$i) {
    $array[] = $i;
}
